Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes confuse "impair" with "improve" because they look similar; remember that "impair" is negative (to make worse or weaker). Another mistake is using it for simple physical damage to objects where "break" or "damage" is more natural; "impair" is most often used with abilities, functions, health, judgment, and performance.
